Searching Literature

How to find literature reviews

Literature Review Guide The literature review is an overview of significant literature on a particular topic. It can take the form of an introduction to an essay or thesis, or it can be a self-contained review of writings on a subject. The purpose of the literature review is to place your own particular question or topic into the context of current and previous research.

Researcher Profile

Adopting a unique researcher / author identifier is useful for showcasing your work. It can help you manage your publications list, identify potential collaborators, avoid being misidentified and track what is happening with your research for funding or grant applications.

In addition to some established research services, these free tools enable you to create a researcher profile:

ORCID (Open Researcher & Contributor ID)

ResearcherID (Web of Science)

Google Scholar - (My Citations)

GRID Global Research Identifier Database - Cataloging the world's research organisations
International Standard Name Identifier (ISNI) ISNI is the ISO certified global standard number for identifying the millions of contributors to creative works and those active in their distribution, including researchers, inventors, writers, artists, visual creators, performers, producers, publishers, aggregators, and more. It is part of a family of international standard identifiers that includes identifiers of works, recordings, products and right holders in all repertoires, e.g. DOI, ISAN, ISBN, ISRC, ISSN, ISTC, and ISWC.

ORCID Working Group: Joint Statement of Principle: ORCID - Connecting Researchers and Research. Canberra; 2015 The Joint Statement of Principle proposes that Australia's research sector broadly embrace the use of ORCID as a common researcher identifier. In the same month, the Australian Research Council (ARC) and the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) also released a Joint Statement on ORCID.
SciENcv - My NCBI SciENcv is an application in My NCBI that helps you create online professional profiles that can be made public to share with others. In SciENcv you can document your education, employment, research activities, publications, honors, research grants, and other professional contributions. My NCBI users can create multiple SciENcv profiles in official biographical sketch formats, for the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the National Science Foundation (NSF), and the Institute of Education Sciences (IES), which can be used for grant submissions. In addition, SciENcv profiles include, when registered with ORCID, your ORCID iD.
